Oh my yummy vegan club sandwich

Last week I had a lunch date with my hubby and I chose the biggest yummy club sandwich on the menu – potato chips and all included – because I was really craving it that day! Some days you’ve just got do indulge in something (other than your usual diet). Overall it’s best to choose foods with a high nutritional value, but a large club sandwich ones in a while won’t harm you and can fit in a varied diet. Due to my recent lovely lunch date I was inspired to make my own vegan version of the club sandwich for the Foodie-ness blog!

I don’t eat bread every day, but I don’t completely avoid it. If you choose the right type of bread, it is a good addition to a healthy diet. Whole wheat and sour dough are good choices. When I’m in the mood for a good and satisfying lunch, a club sandwich is something I can really enjoy. I love experimenting in the kitchen so I wanted to make a different version of this classic recipe too, making it a vegan club sandwich! It’s usually made with chicken and bacon. Plant-based foods have many benefits, think of the unsaturated fatty acids Omega 3 and 6 in plant oils and margarines, which lower your cholesterol. Vegetables and whole wheat grains also consist of a lot of fibers. Plant based food also contain several vitamins, for example vitamin A in carrots are good for your sight.

“Life is like a club sandwich, you have to fill it with the best ingredients”

Therefore, I am incorporating more and more plantbased foods in my diet these days. Even when
you’re not a vegetarianor vegan it’s good to substitute your meat every once in a while. The best diet is balanced and and varied, including multiple sources of protein. Don’t worry, vegan food isn’t less tasty, there is so much to vary with and it’s easier than you might think to make a plantbased dish full of flavors.

This fancy vegan club sandwich is a true treat and you can make it as healthy as you like. Serve with some homemade sweet potato chips to create your ultimate vegan club sandwich experience 😉
